Warring At Play

UPDATE!

Notes:

1. Grimlock and Prowl. AGAIN. Is it worrying to anyone else that the two Autobots who have gotten the most character development are the two biggest dicks?

2. On that note, why is it I find it so easy to write completely amoral monsterous bastards? I'm starting to worry something is a little wrong with my ethical subroutines here...

3. I've been informed by a friend that if I keep being mean to Prowl, she's going to take him away and report me to the Society For Ethical Treatment of Webcomic Characters.

4. If this update doesn't convince you that Figma Saber is awesome, YOU'RE WEIRD!!

[Caterwaul]

Oooh. New Shinkis.
Black Arnval or Werkstra?

[alebravo6]

Probably not. Something even better... Or worse, depending from your side of view.

Don't worry, Pol, I already have three different Figma Sabers, and I love them all. I also love how Grimlock successfully derailed Saber. His "Howling is a girl." line and Howling's priceless expression will go down in history. And Prowl's communication with Sideways threw me completely for a loop. Not just that he was calling in Sideways, but that he was acting behind everyone's backs to take care of Arnval... We're not gonna have another Shinki/Autobot romance on our hands, are we? I don't know how I feel about those... We've already got one in full bloom (Strarf x Hot Rod) and another one that you left plenty of potential for blossoming (Eukrante x Optimus - don't think we didn't notice the way she took his massive [comparatively] hand while he was making decisions; we did).

Anyway, I can't wait to see how Saber gets herself back on track after that one.

UPDATE!

Notes:

1. Y'know, I think I get twitchy when I don't have a fight scene in too long. I was channeling some kinda rage into that Saber/Grimlock scene.

2. On that note... if this fight goes how I expect, I might have to check eBay for replacements...

3. I tried to give Lockdown's ship a sense of size... to be in scale, it would end up being the size of a sedan RL, after all.

4. This also marks my first attempt at filming outdoors. And if the weather continues to be as cooperative and helpful as it has, IT WILL ALSO BE THE LAST! Seriously Edmonton... clear skies, sunny day, and as soon as I start trying to film, you SLEET on me? Not cool!

5. Are any of you honestly surprised that Scourge did that? I mean, really? Has ANYTHING the guy done in this comic NOT been an act of a complete and utter bastard?

[Hylian Pirate]

Saber vs. Grimlock?! This. Will. Be. Awesome! Your Saber is just such a great character. I really can't wait for s*** to start getting real with her. Also, now that your comic is on more than one forum, it's cool that you make it a point to focus on different types of toys. It's still the Transformers as the main cast, with our little armored girls as close supporting actresses, but it feels like your Saber opens the door for endless possibilities. Why would Saber be this Owner's only Figma? (Clearly it's not, as you make good use of Casual Saber's gentle smile and upset faces.)

And no, I wasn't expecting Swindle to eat it, but it still didn't completely surprise me. Scourge is, in fact, a bastard. I do wonder how Swindle's disappearance will be handled though... Won't Megatron notice one of his ranks missing? Than again, I'm sure Sixshot isn't the only reserve spark in Shockwave's lab...

You sir, have one of the most awesome Shinki/Tf-comics out there.

No, really.

P.s Love your Sideways. Lockdown is pretty darn epic too.

Okay, now where did I put that tag?

... Hmmm... Crispy fried Gabranth, no... Random Scopedog parts, no... Peacock Man dust, no... AHA! Here it is! *Blows off the dust*

Notes:

1. Holy crud that's a lot closer to 100 panels than I should be getting! But still, the bulk of it is the fight scene, and I didn't feel there was a good place to break that.

2. Don't ask what's up with Grimlock's cryptic comment. It will be revealed in the course of the story, is a major plot point, and is therefore a Peacock question.

3. A friend has complained about the Energon 'coffee', upset that I addicted them to the 'vile stuff'. If it makes her feel any better, Strarf won't touch it after this (It gives her a major headache)

4. Big thanks to LizRandom and Chaos Incarnate for proofreading sections for me!

5. Yes, I just noticed that Grimlock rhymed there. It wasn't intentional, but i'm leaving it in.

[Osaru Sensei]

...What does ILLEGAL taste like?

Haw. No, if Prowl finds out he'll just get a mountain of paperwork, so I doubt he'll ban it.

Day-um. you really sense the Warrior Beast here. War is the only place he feels safe in.

2. Don't ask what's up with Grimlock's cryptic comment. It will be revealed in the course of the story, is a major plot point, and is therefore a Peacock question.

Peacock Question - 's got a nice ring to it.
